The seat of government was shifted in 1999 from Kuala Lumpur due to the overcrowding and congestion there. Nevertheless, Kuala Lumpur remains as Malaysia's national capital and also as the commercial and financial centre. Putrajaya was the brainchild of a former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohammad who was in power then. In 2001, Putrajaya was made a Federal Territory, increasing the number of federal territories to three. Kuala Lumpur and Labuan are the other two.<br /><br />Named after the first Malaysian Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra the city is situated within the Multimedia Super Corridor, beside the also newly developed Cyberjaya. The development started in 1995 and today major landmarks are completed and the population is expected to grow in the relatively new city. The &quot;jaya&quot; (जय) part of the city's name means &quot;victory&quot; in Sanskrit.<br /><br /><i>Source: Wikipedia</i><br /><br /><b>Tech Specs:</b> 9 exposures HDR.<br /><br /><b>::<a href="http://bighugelabs.com/onblack.php?id=4386997383&amp;size=large" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View Large On Black</a><b>::<a href="http://flickriver.com/photos/84314402@N00/popular-interesting/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Most Interesting according to Flickr</a>::<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/vedd/collections/72157612148668947/" target="_blank"> View my HDR/DRI Collections</a>::<br /><br />Buy My Art at :: <a href="http://vedd.imagekind.com" rel="nofollow">vedd.imagekind.com</a></b></b></p>veddhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15094276394523210192noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25437928.post-695788083923736492010-02-24T23:54:00.001+08:002010-02-24T23:54:12.113+08:00Iron Mosque, yet again<div style="text-align: left; padding: 3px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/vedd/4385180904/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4068/4385180904_40d5a72755.jpg" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" alt="" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/vedd/4385180904/">Iron Mosque, yet again</a>, originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/vedd/">vedd</a>.</span></div><p>Masjid Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin, or sometimes known as the &quot;Iron Mosque&quot; is a newly constructed mosque in Putrajaya, where more than 70% of its construction material is of iron.

This is taken not too long ago using 50mm f/1.8 lens. I was interested on finding out how good the lens was. I'm impressed and money well spent, even though it's cheap :)<br /><br />Putrajaya International Convention Centre or PICC is the main convention centre in Putrajaya, Malaysia. This building is located on the top of Taman Puncak Selatan in Precinct 5.<br /><br />It was constructed between 2000 and 2003 at a cost of RM600mil. Since October 2004, the Putrajaya Convention Centre is officially known as Putrajaya International Convention Centre or PICC to reflect the state of the art conference facilities at par with other international conference centre such as in London, Tokyo and Paris. The name change, which was perceived necessary as a marketing strategy and to internationalize Putrajaya, was first mooted by Dato Shafiq Abdullah, Deputy Under Secretary, Prime Minister's Department and endorsed by Dato Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, former Prime Minister of Malaysia. Besides hosting the 10th Conference of Organization of Islamic Countries, PICC also became one of the most favoured conference venue for high security risk events, hosted by the government or private sector. PICC has had many important guests including foreign head of states and heads of government, important corporate personalities such as the world's richest man, Bill Gates. Due to its strategic location on the top of the hill in Putrajaya and facing beautiful lakes, it has also become one of most popular places and &quot;hot&quot; sites for film shootings especially for commercial advertisements. Despite these, the PICC is heavily under-utilised and it may take 300 years to recoup its original cost, excluding maintenance fees.<br /><br /><i>Source: Wikipedia</i><br /><br /><b>Tech Specs:</b> Vertorama from tone mapped HDR. 9 exposures for the bottom part, 4 exposures for the upper part.<br /><br /><b>::<a href="http://bighugelabs.com/onblack.php?id=4281853276&amp;size=large" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View Large On Black</a><b>::<a href="http://flickriver.com/photos/84314402@N00/popular-interesting/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Most Interesting according to Flickr</a>::<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/vedd/collections/72157612148668947/" target="_blank"> View my HDR/DRI Collections</a>::<br /><br />Buy My Art at :: <a href="http://vedd.imagekind.com" rel="nofollow">vedd.imagekind.com</a> or <a href="http://www.projetogallery.com/index.php?_a=viewBrand&amp;brandId=19" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Projeto Online Gallery UK</a></b></b></p>veddhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15094276394523210192noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25437928.post-58620310970463407662010-01-16T02:00:00.001+08:002010-01-16T02:00:03.401+08:00March of the Clouds<div style="text-align: left; padding: 3px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/vedd/4276358201/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4042/4276358201_54b9bcb2e1.jpg" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" alt="" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/vedd/4276358201/">March of the Clouds</a>, originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/vedd/">vedd</a>.</span></div><p>One more from the same unplanned outing.<br /><br />View the previous one <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/vedd/4268878365/">here</a> and <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/vedd/4273793533/" target="_blank">here</a>.<br /><br />This one almost didn't happen due to rain.
